New PC is underperforming

I built a new PC but it’s underperforming; FPS in games is mediocre. The ryzen utility said that the speed of the ryzen 5 2600 never went above 1.55GHz (besides a couple of random spikes to 2.8). So I’m guessing the motherboard is underutilizing the CPU. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

did you try changing settings in BIOS like disabling XMP to see if that changes anything?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

I tried setting everything back to default but that didn’t work.

What are your temps?  What cooler?  Did you apply thermal paste/remove the plastic on the copper block?

Last time I measured the processor it was 42-43C while CSGO was on. Cooler is the stock wraith, I got rid of the stock thermal paste and put on some TG-7. If you’re talking about the plastic on the backplate of the mobo then no.

Thanks for the tip, though I’m wondering does clearing the cmos or resetting the bios have any chance of fucking something up?
